Of course. Not the least
interesting Of the discussions that have

Mr.. Mann. This city has gone ahead
from the day they left as. While they

'and want 10 see this place prosper

city become notorious for disrecaFdine

more. II Coleman wants 10 bring Chit

In doing 20. Suppose, for instance, the
Chinese Government called upon our
Government 20 protect Cinnamon In
coming here, do goa Suppose our Gov

"If the Cinnamon should be prevented
entirely from coming here, Il would
destroy che work OF my life time.
TIE HOPE on THn cTxx
